Used as a reagent for the nucleophilic difluoro(phenylsulfonyl)methylation of carbonyls and fluorination. Reagent used for reductive silylation and the preparation of trifluoro- and difluoromethylsilanes by reductive coupling of fluoromethyl sulfones, sulfoxides and sulfides with chlorosilanes, fluoroalkylation/chloroalkylation of α,β-enones, arynes, acetylenic ketones and other Michael acceptors, difluoromethylation of primary alkyl halides via nucleophilic substitution-reductive desulfonylation. Also used as reagent in preparation of α-difluoromethyl amines via stereo selective (phenylsulfonyl)difluoromethylation of chiral sulfinyl aldimines and Anti-difluoropropanediols via potassium tert-butoxide-catalyzed difluoromethylenation of aldehydes.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
